I could understand putting this kind of time in for a passion project of your own, but for like, a job for somebody else? Worse, a salaried job? That's way too much.

game developers need to unionize yesterday
Not just games. And not just dev. IT needs to unionize.
I knew someone who tried it at Intuit 20 years ago.
the other half are lying
The IATSE discussing unionization is good, actually unionizing is even better. Although, I'm not sure how much unionization would actually do to curb crunch culture. It will obviously help on some level, but with the idea of crunching so ingrained in the industry, I feel like it will take a while for anything to change.
I think if the union negotiated no more overtime exempt positions and strict limits on the amount of allowed OT, that would go a long way. Places like DigiPen also need to stop teaching crunch culture
